MONTPELIER ITEMS.
Notes, Newsy and Personal, from
the Northern Burg.

THE WEATHER is phenomenaliy fine
for this time Of the year.
The QUARTERLY conference of this
stake will convene at Paris on Saturday
and Sunday next.
QUITE number of the citizens here
are locating claims in the Salt River
and Star Valley country, east.
FROM THE amount OF rustling now
beng done by R. G.. Spence, one would
infer that he is the busiest lawyer in
Bear Lake.
The DEATH of Mrs. Pugmire, of the
presidency of the Stake Primary Asso-
Citations, has caused feeling of sorrow
over the whole community.
Il. II. DALRYMPLE, OF Dingle Dell, ar
rived here this morning from Black
foot, having received a verdict of not
guilty on the unlawful cohabitation
charge.
RUMoR HAS it that certain Brigham
City parties are thinking of putting in
good roller flour mill at Montpelier.
Talking has already been done; the
work will come later on.
HYRUM WooLLEY, lately in from his
| northern ranch, reports stock as look
ing we'll. He thinks cattle as well as
horses will be able to forage out during
| the whole of the winter.
MONTPELIER Is rapidly assuming me-
| trOpolitan proportions. At present she
has TWO new livery stables in course OF
erection. Within her borders are also
five large mercantile houses, each doing
| ~,
and shoe and various other industries.
CHARLEY FRENCH is one of Bear
Lakes bona tfde citizens. He has mar
ried here and has already assumed
paternaI duties. joe Robinson, also
one of Salt LAKES bright young men.
is the postmaster here and has charge
of VIM. Driver and Sons large drug
store.
IT Is an old adage of the law, in fact
Blackstone states it that Justice
should always be tempered with
mercy" But in the Idaho courts this
principle is very often lost sight of and
the Jaw instead of being corrective, is
very often made an instrument to gen
crate hate. The latest phase is to apply
segregation under q new name, and
bring two counts-adultery and unlaw-
| lul COHdUlIhblOu-lOI Gu6 5du6 Ou6uS0.
Mr.. VIM. SeVern-an elderly gentleman
of this PLACES a victim of this prac-
tice And the people here of all shades
of opinion feel that the lines are going
too far-they feel that the law shoulc
| be corrective, not persecutive. But
when the doctrine of hate and prejudice
prevail it can scarcely be said that these
ends are reached.
The ANTICS of certain postoffice in
spector has menaced the people Of this
section very seriously of late. The
movements Of this gentleman should be
reported TO the postal department at
once, as he has left considerable
"history" IN his wake. At Georgetown,
in this county, he had the Office
taken from a very estimable
gentleman and given to another party,
simply and solely because the former
was Mormon" Though the new
a. pointee is at least a semi-transient
and almost stranger in the place. At
Montpelier it is said that Mr.. Robinson
will be superseded by stalwart
Republican, and that the Office will be
removed to the depot. at Bennington,
town of $50 people, the office is to be
| discontinued altogether. Verify. the
| people here have no rights which the
postoffice inspector is bound to respect.
